1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Cholesterol plays a pivotal role in defining the structure and signaling function of plasma membrane lipid rafts, yet direct nanoscale measurements of cholesterol-rich domains in intact cells that enable atomic scale analysis remains challenging. Here, we present AsymPol-Chol-AF647, a bimodal cholesterol-based probe that integrates a biradical (AsymPol) for Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) with a fluorescent dye (AF647), enabling correlative in-cell DNP solid-state NMR and confocal fluorescence microscopy of the plasma membrane. The cholesterol anchor ensures insertion into the plasma membrane, providing a spatially defined delivery of the polarizing agent. Confocal imaging in live cells confirms plasma membrane localization and reveals concentration-dependent perturbations to lipid raft integrity, with optimal conditions at 0.19 nmol/10
